BACKGROUND:

Sixty prefabricated units were scheduled for construction in Woodman Road park to provide housing for the homeless for the next ten years.

REQUIREMENT:

Prefabricated ramps and steps that can be installed within the tight schedule of a week, last a lifetime, and be removed and reused easily after the site is decommissioned.

 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

CAD and technical drawings were designed by our specialist designer in-house. 

END RESULT:

Modular ramps and steps were delivered and installed within a week.  

Extra-wide walkways were included to cover the width of the double doors and to provide turning space for powerchair users.

FEATURES INCLUDED:

  • Mesh Platform - this self-draining mesh platform allows water to pass through rather than puddle on the surface and potentially freeze.
  • Trombone Ends - these are added to the ends of a Rapid Ramp to prevent clothes catching.
  • Telescopic Legs - these can be adjusted to accommodate threshold heights.
  • Standard Handrail - this handrail system ensures users always have a support to hold onto.
  • Standard Colour Black - ramps are powder-coated black to create a hard finish that is tougher than conventional paint.

EXTRA FEATURES INCLUDED:

  • Infill Handrail - this product prevents users from climbing or falling through gaps.
  • Yellow Tread - this is a safety feature designed to help those with impaired vision identify the nose of the ramp and helps users distinguish any level changes.
  • Standard Underside Mesh - this is designed to prevent users from gaining access to the underneath of the ramp.
  • Step Units - an ideal addition to any ramp installation, providing the access needed for able-bodied users. They can also be stand-alone units, independent of the Rapid Ramp System.

ACCESS RAMPS & STEPS FOR PREFABRICATED BUILDINGS:

Like modular buildings, our ramps & steps are prefabricated systems, carrying benefits including:

  • A fast construction time - Ramp installations are typically completed within a 1 to 2-day turnaround time. Components are manufactured and stored in-house.
  • Easy to remove – Once no required, ramps can be disassembled within a few hours.
  • Design and build flexibility - Ramps can be re-designed and re-configured to suit different sized areas.
  • Cost-effective – Our access ramp has a life span of over 25 years with no maintenance costs.
  • Environmental benefits – Ramp components can be reused under our ramp recycling scheme.
  • Safety features - Includes handrails for grip and a slip-resistant mesh platforms as standard.
